A poor quality effort this morning, a run during which the air felt like soup and I struggled to stay on course. What had been intended to be an eight-mile run became a truncated 5+ mile shuffle--the highlight being the thunder and light drizzle which accompanied me home the last half-mile. I am optimistically looking forward to much better things come the weekend, following tomorrow's (Friday's) recovery day.

Breathe in, breathe out… YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
